The Optima 3000 is a compact electric furnace for melting scrap metal, reclaiming, alloying, and refining metals. The Optima 3000 is designed to be hand-held for pouring of the metal directly from the furnace.
The Optima 3000 features a microprocessor PID control, PID auto-tuning function electronic controller that allows for extremely precise melting temperatures of metals. The electronic feature regulates the temperature by providing full power input to the furnace until a selected temperature is attained, then holds the temperature to +/- 1 F.
